Process Of yuicantzinc Rubber.


The way in which the process of vul-
canizing rubber came to be discovered by
the Goodyears was told to o reporter some
years ago by, John Dixon, one Of Good
years employees, The men had habit OF
chewing rubber much as the modern
school girl chews gum. One day, while
Dixon and an Irishman were carrying
some rubber on m iron hand barrow to
the oven, the Eishman was taken with o
fit Of coughing as he passed barrel Of
sulphur, and involuntarily spat ont his
rubber cud. It fell into the barrel.
Setting down the barrow, he made grab
for it and recovered it. The sulphur,
however, adhered to its moist surface, and
he threw it down with an expression of
disgust 1t fell upon the barrow and was
put into the oven with it, When the bar
row was taken from the oven Dixon saw
that the little piece Of rubber had assumed
a new appearance. He examined it care
fully, and he became convinced that he
held in his hand the key TO the discovery
sMr. Goodyear had been searching for. He
took the Lit thing to Mr.. Goodyear,
who, when. h NV 1t, became much ex-
cited. Dixon I'd him the circumstances
under which the change had been effected,
and Mr., Goodyear set his son and Dixon
to work experimenting. 1t was several
months before they succeeded, but they
finally learned the secret of making yu]-
fcanized rubber.-Boston Transcript.

this his hobby, and in our own day it had

on letting their houses and apartments to
respectable families without children
as though somehow in this land of liberty
the perpetuation of the race had become a
disreputable business-will never take
kindly to this hobby.

hunt for signatures of famous people, who
in little while will only fill a line or two
in an unread encyclopedia, keep dogs,

mentate on Shakespeare, keep hens. worry
the secrets out of acrostics, 60 in for anna
teur acting or amateur photographing or
amateur anything you prefer, but when
you have searched the whole list of hob
bies this one of Hans Christian Anderson's

The FIre worsl,ipers.

"we do not worship fire. explained
Mr.. Kevasjee Pestangce, of Bol.bay, the
Parsee priest, now making his first visit
to this country, to an inquiring reporter.
"We worship the one God. We pay re-
spect to the clements-hre, water and the
rest-as great works of God, without
which we could not exist. Fire is one OF
the most beautiful and striking of the ele-
ments. When Parsee, in praying, turns
his face toward the sun he does not wor-
ship the sun, but looks upon it as illus
trating the power and the majesty of the
supreme being. Fire burns always in our
temples, as symbol, rs sacred symbol,
but always symbol. There are 10000
or $4,000 of us in India We do not
propagate our religion. More than that,
we do not take others into our religion
even. We are exclusive. Our temples
are open only to those of our faith, and
even when religious rites arc performed in
IL room no one not uf our religion can lc
present In the morning the Parsec prays
that he may speak the truth, think the
truth and act the truth. Our temples are
open all day, and one may drop in Mt any
time TO make his quiet orison. .'-phila-

At the Battle Of Franklin.

At the edge of the village was house,
in which resided Mr.. Carter and his two
daughters. They had remained in the
house during the day, and their presence
had been respected by our troops. AS the
day passed, it seemed as If battle would
not take place, so they thought there was
no need to leave their home. When the
battle came itwas so sudden they dared not
leave, and they took refuge in the cellar.
The house proved tobe In the very center
Of the storm, and the battle ragged about
it for hours. They afterward said that
while the horrid din lasted it seemed as If
they must die Of terror If 1t did not cease;
but when there was a lull the suspense of
fearful expectation seemed worse than the
din, and; that it was almost relief when
the battle was renewed. The long night
ended at last, and with the first light the
young women went out to minister to the
wounded, who were lying Unattended all
ebout. AS they climbed the parapet at
the rear of the house., on their errand of
mercy among the first they found was a
young Confederate staff officer, their own
brother, mortally wounded, lying, as he
had fallen atsunset, at the very threshold
of his home.-Chicago Herald.

Fighting in a Mountainous Country.

Rosecrans had effected the crossing of
the river and had occupied Wills valley,
between Sand and Lookout mountains,
without opposition, and had established
his headquarters at Trenton. Lookout
mountain now interposed to screen all the
enemy's movements from our observa-
tion. Gen. Bragg had said, petulantly,
few days before the crossing into Wills
valley: "It is said to be easy to defend n
mountainous country, but mountains hide
your foe from you, while they arc full of
gaps through which he can pounce upon
you at any time. A mountain is like the
wall of house full of rat holes. The rat
lies hidden at his hole, ready to pop out
when no one is watching. Who can tell
what lies hidden behind that wall?" said
he, pointing to the Cumberland range
across the river.-Gen. d. H. Hill in The
CentIlry

Railroads Not Necessarily Ugly.

Why people fancy that railroad must
necessarily be on ugly object never have
discovered. There are railroads and
railroads; q long, straight, raised en-
bankment in q fiat country is ugly; but q
railroad in mountainous country adds
an additional charm to the view. Few
things are more beautiful than o brick
viaduct across valley, unless it be the
line of steam which issues from q loco
motive and hangs in graceful curves
along hillside Why they ere deemed
Objectionable by aesthetics, poets and such
like persons is because they are asso-
ciated with that utilitarianisln which is
hateful to their incoming, impractical
minds.-London Truth.

Silnulations of Animals.

S. E. Peal, writing from Assam, notices
singular case of mimicry on the part of
caterpillar, which, when suddenly sur
prised, erects its head in an attitude that
caused the writer to mistake it for q
shrew, probably the very animal that
preys upon it. The resemblance is caused
by two lateral prolongations and a pointed
tip to the head; these when lifted in the
peculiar attitude assumed simulate ears
and long muzzle, while the mouth parts
in profile look like the mouth of verte-
brate. The same writer states that the
tiger causes the Sambur deer to run to it
by uttering whistle which only an expert
can tell from that of deer. The eye and
nose Jumps of crocodile are so like the
Jumps of foam that Mr.. Peal confesses he
has been deceived until he saw the sup
posed foam sink. He believes this simu-
lation useful to the crocodile in obtaining
od.-Nature.

The sen at Mount Desert being icy cold,
Idita and I set to work to make fire at
once, and called to the two sopping ones
to come up. I noticed that, considering
the danger there had been, Idita was

when the third man came up she evidently
knew him. So did I. He was long

never went into society, hated young
ladies, had rooted dislike of southerners,
and regarded women who flirt as no better
than traitors to their sex. We called him
Billy Carr-what his middle name and
family were I did not know-but except
for prejudices Of this kind he was as mitch

as any man have met Well, Billy Carr
and Idita kept looking at each other in a
curious way, and finally Tommy Moore

sobbed as if her heart would break.

"Thanks, general" And the Parisian
threw away his cigar.
But If smoking was not allowed, neither
was it permitted to address the emperor;
and scarcely had the latter passed out OF
sight when two police officers approached
the traveller and he was soon on his way
to the station, where he remained until 10
in the evening in the society Of the thieves
and drunkards who had been arrested the
previous night. !, n

him he told his story; how an officer in
generals uniform who was passing had
advised him to throw away his cigar, and
that he had at once done so.

was?"
IT don't now" lna.,
The official set the Frenchman at liberty
and made his report to the chief OF the
Third section. The latter, thinking the
adventure might have some unpleasant
political consequence-that the French
man might lodge q complaint with his
ambassador and that he the chief might
be blamed for the action of his subordi-
nates-decided to inform the emperor OF
what had happened.

planned to him the cause Of his unpleasant
adventure. 10 "a.

Truf,fes in England.

Trufaes in England are gathered at two
periods: tho white, which are odorless, and
are sold for seasoning, in May; the black,
when hard, during month before and
after Christmas, when they have acquired
all the peculiar perfume, which frequently,
by throwing the hounds off the scent,
proves the safety Of the fox. The size in
England varies from that of a nutmeg to
that of hens egg. The truf1e is never
found in low ground or soil covered with
decayed vegetation, but where the forest
yields light and shade, in open woodland
districts, warm yet damp.-The Argona1lt.
